anti-non-intentionality bias
2 min readJan 1, 2021
Here’s a thing that’s bothering me. I think there is a common, hidden axiom in these beliefs:
- Global warming is a hoax
- The pandemic is a hoax
- Covid-19 was made in a lab
- Global warming may be real, but it’s just a “natural” cycle
These two issues have spawned various (untrue) theories, but what is common across many theories is an assumption if something important/impactful happens, it must have been intended.
